Review

Brilliant Presentation was picked as the "best of its kind" in Management Today in November '07:

'Hall combines a tool-kit, critical pointers and presentation anecdotes from stars in this excellent book.  Well-structured and thoughtfully laid outBrilliant Presentation gives tips for presenters at all levels from novice to expert.  Advice includes boosting self-confidence by proclaiming 'I feel totally shameless today.' Rock on!'



Product Description

**** This book is now available in a new edition - ISBN number 9780273720768 ****

Communication and presentation is crucial in all areas of business and a key factor in whether we succeed or not.

 

In today’s business world, we all have to present at some point or another, regardless of how much we enjoy doing it. Being great at our jobs is no longer good enough; unless you can communicate with power and clarity you simply won’t progress.

 

If you’re part of the majority who do not feel comfortable presenting then worry no more. Brilliant Presentations is quite simply the best mass market presentation book there is, and by following its Brilliant Five Point Check List, you can become brilliant in a world of increasingly competent presenters.

 

Full of secrets and tips from the most accomplished and experienced presenters,  this book talks you through all stages of your presentation, and integrates both content and personal presentation coaching. There is pragmatic advice for those in need of a desperate quick fix, and a presentation diary to mark your progress from a novice presenter to a brilliant one!

 

Written in Hall’s highly engaging and compelling style, and supported by practical exercises, he ensures you have all the ‘know how’ you need to deliver a successful visual presentation. Why be an average presenter when you could be brilliant?

5.0 out of 5 stars Presentations can be career opportunities: here's how to do them, 24 April 2007
By Martin Conradi (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an ambitious book; it covers a lot of ground in relatively few pages. It is terse, opinionated, challenging and prescriptive. It is full of useful tips and checklists. It is written by someone who, you feel, has sat through - and given - a lot of presentations and thought long and hard about why a few are excellent but many so bad.

It will do your presentations (and thereby your career) the world of good.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pompous and ridiculous but with some valuable information, 14 Sep 2008
"If you're talking about innovation and you want to explore that WOW factor, why not put a WOW card on every seat for the audience to wave whenever they feel a WOW moment" ..... ARE YOU SERIOUS? ... Who is he presenting to children or the mentally challenged or what?? Am I the only one who thinks that would be hilarious to watch? This is the sort of cringe-moment that spoils this book (and trust me there are plenty of them).
However, the book does have SOME useful information, if you can get past the pompous style of the author who seems to think that using big words to explain simple concepts makes him sound more intelligent, despite the fact the he advises clarity over complexity as a key part of good presentations.
I found this book quite annoying with very little insightful information worth underlining. The author's style is just all over the place and at times quite boring and pointless to be perfectly honest. He also tells of how he once ate "half an Airwick solid air-freshner in front of an astonished account team to prove how pure and safe it was" "I remember feeling so strongly that there had never been a better bluer loo cleaner" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What a passionate individual. This book is surreal

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for ANYONE doing presentations , 13 May 2007
By H. Barratt (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is the best that I've come across. It's easy to take in because it's clear, makes total sense and also has some inspirational advice and tips which you can actually use and make a big difference. It covers everything you could want to know from how to over come nerves (and actually says it's ok to feel nervous) to the more practical side of putting a presentation together. I have taken loads from this book and it's definitely helped me take my presentations and my presenting skills to the next level. I've got a few of these types of books and this is one of the few I would whole heartedly recommend.
